METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPTIMIZING A MEDIUM ACCESS CONTROL PROTOCOL

摘要

PURPOSE: A wireless medium access control protocol wherein throughput can be optimized as the communication system dynamically changes when nodes either join or leave the communication system is provided. CONSTITUTION: A method for controlling a wireless communication among plural nodes in a frequency hopping communication system comprises two steps. First of all, the number of sending messages is supervised by counting the number of the request-to-send messages in a period of time. Then, the number of the slots is changed actively in order to access the wireless communication medium.
